Famous quotes containing the word change:

    “Where we come from in America no longer signifies—it’s where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are.
    The irony of the role of women in my business, and in so many other places, too, was that while we began by demanding that we be allowed to mimic the ways of men, we wound up knowing we would have to change those ways. Not only because those ways were not like ours, but because they simply did not work.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
